Chef tips
To get a perfectly creamy aubergine, score deep criss-cross patterns into the flesh before roasting and brush generously with olive oil; this lets the heat penetrate and ensures the lentils absorb all the lovely flavours. If there is a nut allergy, swap the pine nuts for toasted pumpkin seeds.
